Thoughts on the Vokey D Grind - Worth It?

Seeking Feedback on the Vokey D Grind

I’ve been hearing a lot about the Vokey SM8 and SM9 wedges, and specifically the D grind. Being serious about my short game, I’m considering picking one up, but I’m curious about the real-world performance before I make the investment.

What I’m Looking To Understand:

  • Personal Experiences: If you’ve tried the D grind, what’s your take? How does it hold up around the greens?
  • Comparative Insights: How does the D grind compare to other grinds you’ve used? Particularly curious about how it handles different turf conditions.
  • Performance Tips: Any tips or techniques that help maximize the use of the D grind in gameplay?

A Bit About My Game:

I tend to play a lot of tight lies and firm greens, so I’m hoping the D grind can help me with versatility around the green. If anyone has had success or struggles with this grind, your feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Looking Forward to Hearing from You

I’m eager to hear everyone’s thoughts and experiences! Your insights could greatly help refine my decision on these wedges.

I’ve been using the Vokey D Grind for a few months now. The low bounce and rounded sole really help in tight lies! It’s great for flop shots too.

Totally agree! The versatility of this grind is impressive. It performs well in both sandy conditions and firm turf.

Can anyone compare the D Grind’s performance in wet conditions? I’ve heard it loses a bit of its edge when the ground gets soggy.

From my experience, it still handles okay in wet conditions but requires more finesse. It’s definitely better on dry turf.

What I love about the D Grind is how it encourages creativity around the greens. You can really play with different shots!

I agree! It’s definitely a tool for those who like to shape their shots. Just practiced some flop shots yesterday using it, and the results were stellar!

Is it just me or does the D Grind feel a bit awkward on full swings? I wonder if anyone else feels that way.

I get what you’re saying. It definitely shines around the greens, but full swings aren’t its strong suit for me either.

Hey, has anyone tested how it performs in thick rough? I’m curious if the bounce helps clear the grass effectively.

Great question! The D Grind cuts through thick grass well, thanks to that bounce. Just need to commit to the shot!

I’ve heard mixed reviews about the D Grind. Some say it’s too specialized. What do you all think?

Honestly, it’s a niche tool but incredibly effective if you play around the greens often. Totally worth it for my game!

If you’re a feel player, the D Grind could be a game changer. It’s all about the touch and creativity you bring to the course.

Absolutely! I’ve found my short game improving since switching to this grind. It’s really fun to use!

I’ve got to admit, every time I use the D Grind, I feel like a pro—even if I screw up the shot! It’s that confidence boost you need!

Haha, that’s the spirit! Confidence can make or break a round. Just make sure to practice those delicate touches regularly.

I’ve been using the Vokey D grind for about six months now, and my chipping game has improved a lot! The versatility helps me around the greens.

That’s awesome to hear, laura18! I’ve also found that it helps in tight lies, especially for delicate shots.

I tried the D grind for my short game, but honestly, I felt it wasn’t very forgiving. Maybe I’m just not skilled enough yet!
